President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump's supporters on Tuesday, calling them "garbage" in response to a racist comment made at a Trump rally about Puerto Rico. Biden emphasized that such rhetoric does not reflect American values. Biden's remarks came during a call with the Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino. He clarified on social media that he was referring to the hateful comments made at the rally, not to all Trump supporters. The comments drew quick backlash from Republicans, including Trump, who claimed Biden insulted everyday Americans. Some Democrats also distanced themselves from Biden's language, highlighting a divide in the party's approach to Trump supporters.
